“I don’t really know what to say except hello with jazz hands” that’s how Sean introduced himself to Lola on Zoosk. After walking past each other several times while nervously waiting to meet for their first date, dinner at Chiquito’s was followed by a walk in the rain under a pink umbrella around a long-abandoned […]
I first met Neil and Nele not long after my book was published. They were among the very first people to read it, so I was very touched to see this sign when I arrived to conduct their fun-filled, imaginative and very emotional ceremony at Carlowrie Castle. Most Scottish castles are rattling with antiques of […]
Like so many couples these day, Lisa and Ray were ‘reversing into marriage’ and they arrived at Orocco Pier with their ready-made family, their children, Ethan and Courtney. Courtney’s verdict was crucial when it came to choosing the colour of the bridesmaids dresses, while Ethan made sure the countdown sign was always up to date. […]
I don’t like to use the ‘B’ word but despite all the uncertainty around Brexit, more and more couples are choosing to speak their vows in Scotland.

They met because they worked in the same office in Glasgow, but it took a couple of […]
‘Love at first sight is easy to understand, but it’s only when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.’ Stuart and Robert met ‘at the dancing’ more than 40 years ago, but it wasn’t a Frankie and Josie moment. They were both looking for a part time […]
Aged just 16 and 17 respectively, Jade and Michael first met at City Nightclub: obviously the place to be for underage party lovers! As the ‘older woman’, it was Jade who passed her driving test first and drove Michael on their first official date to see ‘The Bucket List’. They both studied hard at Aberdeen […]
In these days when many people meet their life partner on a dating app, it’s lovely to be able to tell a story about a couple who first met in primary school, (even if Gordon thought that Carly was ‘quiet and shy’, and she just remembered him as ‘the wee guy with the curtains’). They didn’t actually […]
